On one dark and stormy night in the day room of the Silver Retirement Home, five elderly women are trading stories of their lives. Storm floods are rising and there’s no rescue team in sight. The ladies are faced with the realisation that to survive they have to do it themselves!

Silver lining , by Sandi Toksvig , is a hilarious comedy telling the tale of a group of extraordinary yet forgotten women who come together one stormy night to recreate The Great Escape– senior citizen style.
